Answer:
1. Meiosis 1.
2. Meiosis 2.
3. End.
4A. The chromosome theory of inheritance states that chromosomes are the main carriers of the genetic factors responsible for inheritance.
B. Body cells have two sets of chromosomes while sex cells have one set. Therefore, when two sex cells meet, they form an embryo with two copies of each chromosomes thereby producing a body cell with the exact number of chromosomes. In essence, meiosis maintains the right number of chromosomes of body cells by creating half the number of chromosomes of sex cells.
C. Meiosis.

Answer:
Absorption and secretion would be impossible within the digestive tract.
Explanation:
Epithelium is one of the tissues found in humans. It is classified as either simple or stratified depending on the number of cell layers. Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells while stratified have many layers of cells. Based on the shape, epithelial tissues can either be squamous, columnar or cuboidal.
Due to the single-layer of the simple epithelial tissues, they line the walls of secretory or absorptive organs e.g organs of digestive tract. The stratified epithelium is majorly for protective function due to the number of cell layers it possess and not a good type of epithelium for locations where absorption and secretion of substances is common e.g digestive tract.
Hence, if a genetic mutation causes a person's digestive tract to have stratified columnar epithelium instead of simple columnar epithelium, ABSORPTION AND SECRETION of chemical substances, which is a key feature of organs (stomach, intestine) that make up digestive tracts, will be impossible.
Answer:
The cell would fail to function. It would likely fail to properly replicate DNA properly or transcribe genes.
Explanation:
The nucleus holds the genetic information, the DNA. If the nucleus does not grow properly, the DNA might not fit or be properly organized inside. This would mean DNA replication could not proceed as normal, and the DNA might not even be able to fit inside the nucleus!
The cell would also struggle to properly transcribe the DNA if the nucleus is not fully formed. DNA acts as a template for mRNA transcription, which directs protein synthesis. The cell will very quickly die if there are inaccuracies in protein synthesis due to mRNA not being adequately synthesized.
Answer:
The statement is false.
Explanation:
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands, it helps to regulate cellular energy metabolism and increases the heart rate.
Epinephrine adheres to certain receptors that are exposed on the surface of a large number of body cells. This receptor, called beta-adrenergic, is a receptor that is embedded in the plasma membranes of these cells. Adrenaline does not penetrate the cell, instead, joining for a short period of time to its receptor, induces it to release biochemical signals to the cytoplasm of cells. This steric change, affects the configuration of the cytoplasmic domain of the protein, this is the "link" of the receptor that protrudes in the cytoplasm.
The correct answer is c. 3 ' hydroxyl of deoxyribose.

During the DNA synthesis via PCR, polymerization occurs in 5’-3’ direction. This means that enzyme DNA polymerase which synthesizes a new DNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand (3’-<span>5’ direction). 5’ phosphate group of the free nucleotides which are added is attached to the 3'-hydroxyl group at the end of the elongating DNA strand.</span></span>
